Check the codepages. Might be different in the enternal application and in SAP.

Can you make the servlet somehow Unicode compilant?

I think it's related to codepages.

Peter,thanks for your reply.

Do you mean that we should compile the external application in Unicode?

Can we set the codepage before calling http_post?

because the external application is a interface program from a bank,maybe it is difficult to change it.

Hi Pole,

OK, if it's an external bank application and not an inhouse development, it's definetely difficult to change.

What I could suggest is to check the RFC destination settings in the SAP system. Maybe you can change something there.

For SAP-SAP connections, if I go to menu System Information -> Target system I can see the followings:

Character Set 1100

Integer BIG

Floating Point IE3

Might be helpful to see if it's different. I'm not sure if this info is available in non-SAP systems.

I think it's also worth to try to generate XML file and check the content with a Web Browser/XML editor where you can change the codepage.
